different CDROM drive, bootable floppy (put a floppy in it!), reset PRAM and reseat the SIMMS...Maybe if you disconnected the 2 RAIDed drives you could just boot from the 2 gigger. Official 68k videographer

S***!!!!!!But yeah, my suggestions are to try booting off a floppy and to try resetting PRAM, as Cory said, or maybe even making sure the clock battery is ok, it may be flat. Although if i were you, i'd try the SCSI card in another NuBus Mac. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Damn. Got a PSU for the 7100? Anything from a IIci, IIcx, Quadra 700, or a Quadra/Centris 650 will work...they use the same PSU as the 7100.Good luck! "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

AAAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!  I packed that thing with a TON of plastic bags...I can't believe they still borked it. It was working perfect when I put it in the box! God damn...well, take everything apart and get some pictures of it ASAP so I can file a claim. I had $250 insurance on it... I'm hoping that maybe just the hard drives were damaged...those are the easiest parts to replace. The top drive is the 2GB boot drive, the bottom two are each 4GB making up the RAID. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator
